Quiz #4 - Food

Ponster

he point of the game is pretty simple. In a PM to me, answer each of the 10 questions below.


Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. You don't want a unique answer, you have to answer with what you think everyone else will put.


If you need to comment or clarify a question then do it in thread please. And if you could reply once you've sent a PM it'd keep the thread alive Thanks!



Write your answers like this...

Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. Thanks.


JUST LIKE THIS:

1. Dr Maria O' Brien
2. Kathy Wells
...

Those who don't reply like this will have 20 points removed for giving me extra work.

The game will end when we have 25 entrants or after 5 days, whichever comes first.


1. Name a popular type of ethnic food
2. Name something made with minced meat
3. Name a traditional Irish dish/meal
4. Name a pizza topping besides cheese or tomato
5. Name a dish/meal that you associate with France
6. Name a method of cooking an egg
7. Other than McDonald's name a fast food restaurant chain
8. Name a brand of cereal
9. Name a type of soup
10. Name a type of Cheese (but not cheddar)

For information :

1. Name a popular type of ethnic food

You can answer either with a location that a type of popular type ethnic food comes from or a dish in particular, it's really up to you what you think other people will answer.


For those that answered 'curry' for question 1, I'm going to consider that you mean an Indian curry unless otherwise stated in the PM okay?

If you put down 'curry' but you didn't mean Indian then just PM me.



8. Name a brand of cereal

It's a brand folks, not a type or cereal If you said something like 'General Mills' then that's fine, "General Mills - Frosty O's " ok, but not just the type i.e. "Frosty O's"

I must admit that I'm surprised by how many different types of French foods have been given and it seems that my answer for the fast food chain is really out though I thought that it was the answer everyone would give !

Creature

Done. Good work once again Ponster .

The answers to the ethnic dish should be interesting, lots to choose form there. I could only think of two French dishes, I just know I chose the wrong one.

By the way Ponster any thoughts on possible ploys to influence voters?
Not saying this is one exactly and definitely, but maybe for your next quiz mention that answers should not be posted until after results are out.

Just a thought. Toodles and fingers crossed for results

Ponster

Tell you what, I'll let you know how many people said 'snails' after gino85's post and how many before.

2. 2. Shepherd's Pie 7
2. cottage pie 1

Clear-cut winner here. I thought more people would say Lasagne though.

Coddal? Come on...it's the most popular answer folks

4. Pepperoni 30

8. Kelloggs 39
8. Weetabix 1

Interestingly, Shepherd's Pie is traditionally made with minced lamb, not minced beef. What most people call Shepherd's Pie is actually Cottage Pie. I saw an episode of the F-word once where Gordon Ramsey got quite worked up about the distinction.

Ponster, are you still accepting incorrect answers even if they are popular?
